Love Poem: On a Mission

On a Mission

I’m on a mission
To shut you out
What, I can’t hear you?
What are you talking about?

You say it’s rude
I say it’s fair
You want the spotlight
I don’t want to share

Oh, did you say something?
I guess I didn’t hear
Speak a little louder
I’m going deaf in both ears

How does it feel?
Never to be heard
Was it what you expected?
Uttering silent, voiceless words?
